Is there likely to be a k12ltsp with a Centos5 base?

I have always thought that what people needed was a distro that
split the base OS and core libraries away from the applications
so once you had a working kernel and device drivers you wouldn't
have to change (and likely break) them just to get a version-level
update to openoffice or firefox.  When you replace your hardware
you would want to install a new kernel with current device drivers
for it.  So far none of them take that approach, though.
